Hello,

First off to start with, its a great tutorial, don’t get me wrong! But I am having a problems that I would like to be resolved!

The scoring bit isnt going down too neatly, when I do the code you have written, it keeps on adding 5. Not in the right way.

e.g.  
score.text = 0, coins give an extra 5 points, but it shows up like:  
055555, rather than 25.

Also, the fact that the variable is set to as score.text makes me curious, as shouldnt it be a numerical variable rather than text?
